Ban Ban Lines - the ultimate legalised griefing weapon

I like 'George,' personally.

I don't see anywhere that says we can't lock ourselves away in a little corner of cyberspace that we PAY for the right to use, and have to be forced to allow you to access it. You want to access someones land, pay their tier.

Well the funny thing is this is all useless.

Since by ban lines are about to become 100X worse of a problem then they are now.

Once the Age/IDV gets put in place all sorts of people are going to be banned from all sorts of parcels.

And it will be because the people who own those parcels are following LL's rules.

Like after George III, the guy we kicked out? For shame, Ann, kicking a man when he's down. That's just mean and unhelpful.

No, no, like, "I'm going to hug him and squeeze him and call him George." Or maybe after George Clooney...George Eads? Iunno, I just like the name.

Pie? Puppy?

Are they combined in a puppy pie? Cause.. I think I'd have to be morally against that.
*nods*

Awesome, I vote we rename North America to "George Clooney." We'd be way sexier than all the other continents. Although if we want to keep the slutty American reputation, maybe we should rename it "Britney."

Now that im thinking of it.

Will we have to age/iDV to use the forums like we had to be "Payment info on file"?

If so, it may not matter so much since the people complaining about all the adult content banlines wont be here ...

Or maybe George Clooney with the 'outlying islands' named Britney?

I don't drink tea actually. Sorry.

LOL - perfect! Hawaii is now Britney. All they do over there is lay around getting too tan and drinking stuff out of coconuts with little umbrellas in them anyway.

I think a whole state may now dislike you lol...

They're welcome to put up banlines. But my airplane might get stuck, and I'd hate for all the other passengers to get pissed off at me and strangle me with those oxygen mask hoses.

lol... nice image there ^^

Whenever I build something new on my land I deliberately take my group tag off since no build only affect other people, it doesn't affect my ability to build on my own land, regardless of active group.

When I'm done I link everything up and set it to the proper group and check About Land. If I notice that there are still prims not set to the group I highlight them because maybe I forgot to link one (easy to do), or maybe I sent one flying off somewhere or hid it in a wall (Return all non-group prims works nicely for those).

It's a completely valid reason for not using auto-return.

Part of the reality of SL is to pay for what you want and use.

If someone wants a place to build, they can use a sandbox for free (with all kinds of restrictions), or they can buy their own parcel and pay tier on it and be free of restrictions.

If someone wants to "explore", they can use one of the countless Linden owned sims, roads, waterways, etc (and be subject to restrictions land owners place on their land), or they can buy their own private continent and be free of restrictions.

Either buy all the land you need to "explore" as much as you without running into a restriction, or accept that your views don't coincide with everyone else's and learn to embrace all views, or buy a flight simulator .

As for what Philip wants, LL is only concerned with making the history books as being the company to standardize a platform and communication for and between virtual worlds. They're long past caring about SL as an entertainment product, or our - to them - petty problems.

That's just for the slow / a-la-carte readers.
Although I'd dispute "over and over again... ad nauseum", it appears that the point bore repeating, because despite whatever level of repetition, 'someone' with a name very similar to yours asserted that "no-one's really provided justification for the removal of banlines, other than "I want to be able to fly under 50m" or "I should be allowed to do whatever I want, even to the detriment of others"."




"I should be allowed to do whatever I want, even to the detriment of others" is presumably the argument put forward by:
1) people who have ban-lines shining 7 metres through alpha textures into their neighbours parcels
2) ad farmers
3) land bot runners

Just for the record, I've got nothing against Hawaiians... er.. Britneyans... I just get really bad hangovers from drinks with umbrellas in them, and since I think that's all they serve over there, I'll probably never go there.

So they can avoid Miserable, self righteous , busybodies, who are so fucking worried that someone else is enjoying themselves too much. Who the hell are you to presume what SL is SUPPOSED to be, and to dictate how people use the program, especially those that are paying to do so? You are entitled live SL as you wish, certainly. Even if it is to do nothing but be worried about what everyone else is worried about being perceived to be doing.
Mind your fucking business.

Apologies to all who see it in advance. I'd AR myself if I could. feel Free to do so.

If you can prove some actual harm, no matters of taste and "land value" do not count. Then sure pull them down. Also, people whining because they want to enter my land but can't are not harmed either.

So put me in group 4) Those who believe that property rights are the basis of all human rights and just as important.

yeah, what Trout said.

You aren't worth the effort it takes to fill in an AR. Can't speak for anyone else though.

The one thing that really made me laugh in your post was "Even if it is to do nothing but be worried about what everyone else is worried about being perceived to be doing."

You're talking there about people who put up ban lines in case what everyone else is doing might possibly harm or impact upon their Second Life, even if they happen to be 200m above the house in a plane and can't even see it because of the draw distance.

I'd be in a completely different group who believe that mutual respect and care for others is the basis of all human rights.
I'd be in a group that asserts that rights come with responsibilities to others.

If you want to be in a group the puts property rights before a concern for others then that's what you want.

Can't see why anyone would AR you for speaking the truth.

He he, Touche.



Yeah, but it's how I said it. I stooped.

With respect, Chris, maybe this should be a little more important?
